9/05/2018 - BETH COLLAB THE NEXT DAY

I went back along to look at the collaborations I had pasted the next day and was happy to see both had survived the night.

From these works I realised that having tinner layers or larger single pieces of tissue paper allowed the work to be stuck against an uneven surface much more easily than many layers of small detailed cut paper.

The amount which I had needed to force the shark work onto the wall had blurred some of the detail and smudged the paper. This lessened the clean, crisp, paintlike effect of the tissue however was not an issue on the Lion piece. I can only presume this is down to the thickness, and that the Shark had been finished a while before and given lots of time to dry and harden.

The white circles had regained their opacity once dry, and  worked verry effectively. As did the piece's integration with the blue paint splatter in the background.

I was so happy with how this technique was developing, and sent my results to Beth. She also was really impressed, and asked me if I would like to continue working on the collaborations over summer. I told her that I definitely did, as this new process was exciting me also, and was something I was definitely intersted to continue developing further. With an ecologically driven practice, I think this could become an environmentally conscious alternative to spraypaint and stencils, which could complement for street art practice very effectively.
